The flexibility of JOI comes at the expense of always requiring the elidable to terminate the previous construct. Nick for one has always found this to be a pain. Were it not for the possibility that JOI is a relatively open-ended set of connectives,most of whom have yet to be discovered, I would have proposed long ago to make multiple non-logical selma'o with different cmavo assigned to each - the exact oopposite of your proposal. %^) (WE never seriously considered that one either.) lojbab
